Title: Intuition, Representation, and Thinking: Hegel’s Psychology and the Placement Problem
Abstract: This chapter gives an account of the psychology section of Hegel’s Encyclopedia in terms of an attempt to relocate the placement issue. The placement issue arises when we are confronted with the question how to place the conscious mind into the natural order. Hegel argues that the right account of the fundamental concepts of our epistemically relevant relation to nature (including concepts such as intuition, perception and imagination) helps us to understand that the right question to ask is how to locate both mind and nature in a wider domain. The wider domain is accessible in the form of a theory of our empirically grounded knowledge of particular facts which is incompatible with a naturalistic account in that it turns out to be impossible to think of our conceptual capacities in the same terms in which we think of natural objects and facts.
